Well that says it all. A 400BHP S4 estate '09 plate or a brand new RenaultSport Clio 4.
Hmm.
Yes, I know they are completely different cars.

That's fairly amazing. I'd love to have a go in one, just to compare it to a normal engined one. The torque vectoring stuff sounds very impressive, I imagine it's very quick round a track!

i take it the movement of the tyres on the slow-mo corner shot is the torque vectoring kicking in..... thats obscure

so on the RS4 v S4 it took the guy 3 second to change the ECU but the text later in the film (@ 10 min) says the software cost was £1200....print money anyone?
Also that S4 looks like a car that my dads owned i.e battered to fook.....

It takes much long than that to actually write the software changes to the ECU, the SPS in the video is only changing between the pre-written maps. That's all it does is reconfigure the prestored map the ECU is running.
And the cost is mostly developement, but after that definetly license to print money. They want £800 for a stage 1 setup for my S3, hence i'll be going elsewhere (probably APR).

Although i agree £1200 is pricey... Your forgetting the time that's been put into developing the software. Plus the cost of the computers that plug into the cars etc.
They had already carried out the work at their shop before the video was shot. What he was doing was swapping maps. £1200 buys you an ECU that you can change the map on with that much ease. Bargain if you ask me.
Also the S4 is meant to be battered. It's the NFG (No f**ks given) S4, that was cheap but is still a weapon

Centre Lock wheels on the Porsche are so Boss!
Man speaks sense
GTR seems to much of a hand full Chris is a very very good driver and even he looked terrified
R8 on the other hand is a car you could use every day on the track, on a b road or even to pop to Tesco and it would thrill you every time for me one of the all time greats and by far the winner overall

That GTR looks savage! I dont want one... i need one lol! The R8 is very nice too and sounds bloody epic, the Porsche was a let down for me even though its still fast in a straight line.
Any car enthusiast should tbh
Thoroughly enjoyed that tbh I'd struggle like hell to pick between them.

£15k, i.e. less than some people on here have spent on their clio's lol.
I'll be honest, GTR's haven't previously done much for me, but the look of terror on his face made me watch that section of the video 3 times. Batsh1t mental that thing.
